An interesting presentation
I've put a link in this post to a Prezi that I thought was interesting.It's very relevant to the topic we're talking about in class relating to gender stereotypes in society and in the media. The Prezi talks about two movies "Fight Club" and " Mean Girls". In this post I will discuss the mean girls portion. First off the movie is described as a "chick flick" or a film that is made specifically for girls because it appeals to more women stereotypes than a regular film. The Prezi points out several stereotypes in the movie such as the idea that you have to be skinny to be beautiful, that women backstab each other all the time, the idea that women dress mostly to look good to men, and that all women secretly want attention. These stereotypes are analyzed and broken down in a very neat way. My personal opinion still stands that the movie is funny and fun too watch. the old saying is that every stereotype has some truth to it, so it's good to see that Tina Fey( one of my favorite actresses) can address these stereotypes and make fun of them too for a good laugh.
